In this paper, the author tries to explore the following research questions: What are the impacts of information and communication technology (ICT) and mass incidents on the post-totalitarian rule in China? To what extent has ICT been developing in Chin? What are the definitions and types of mass incidents in China? What regulations and measures have been adopted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to control the discourses in cyberspace and suppress the mass incidents in physical space? How did the participants of mass incidents utilize ICT devices to communicate and coordinate their collective action in physical space? What theoretical implications can we derive from the explorative study regarding the theories of collective behavior and social movement, on the one hand, and the researches on the post-totalitarianism in China, on the other? |
